The 17 Key Steps!

Remember how your mom always told you to stand up straight? She knew what she was talking about! When you slump and slouch, the bad posture that results is a leading cause of back and neck pain, aching shoulders and even headaches.

As you might suspect, sitting or standing for long periods with bad posture stresses and strains muscles throughout your body, eventually leading to muscle imbalances as they become progressively used to being out of proper alignment.

Plus, poor posture has also been linked to conditions you’d probably never associate with a little bit of slouching, like:[i]

Increased feelings of depression

Lower energy

Problems at work, because you appear less confident

Slowed digestion and constipation

Increased risk of premature death, diabetes and heart disease

Making you look fatter

Decreased circulation

Lower self confidence

Increased stress

What is Poor Posture? Three Common Examples

Millions of Americans have chronically poor posture, and virtually everyone has improper posture at one point or another. If you have back pain, neck pain or tense muscles, there’s a good chance your posture could be improved. If you’re wondering, what, exactly, constitutes poor posture, here are some of the most common examples:[ii]

Hunchback: This is common when sitting hunched over a computer and leads to an excessively curved back. Eventually this posture will weaken your upper back muscles and lead to neck, shoulder and back pain.

Rounded shoulders: This is also common while sitting and can cause your chest muscles to tighten and your upper back to weaken.

Forward head: Your head should be in line with your shoulders and spine, but many people hold their head forward while driving, sitting and standing. This can cause tightness in your back and neck muscles, along with neck pain.

How to Correct Your Posture in 17 Steps

It’s pretty instinctual, when reading an article about proper posture, to straighten up and put your shoulders back. But there’s actually more to correcting your posture than this. Here’s a simple guide to correct your posture while sitting, standing and even sleeping.[iii][iv]

Ideally, sleep on your side using pillows for support; try a pillow between your legs, on your back or under your knees

Avoid sleeping on your stomach, which puts pressure on the vertebrae in your neck)

Avoid sleeping with too many stacked pillows, which may strain your neck

Simple Lifestyle Strategies for Better Posture

Even when you know how to correct your posture, maintaining it can be difficult, especially if you’ve grown used to poor posture. If you’re overweight or obese, losing weight can make it easier for you to improve your posture, as can regular exercise, which strengthens key muscles necessary for correct posture.

Still, abnormal postural conditions like those described are almost assuredly causing your muscles, joints and ligaments to function under increased stress and strain, eventually leading to failure (i.e. pain). You must address these issues to permanently relieve your pain and restore proper posture.
